    What happened to people keeping a bit of old carpet in the boot to throw under the wheels, coke ashes from the fire too back in the day. Snow in the 70's 80' would often be 3 - 4 feet deep in places.

      In the back of my car, I have a big bag of horse bedding pellets. They are pellets designed to absorb water and expand. I bought them just in case my chicken run gets muddy. I thought I might leave it in the car just in case. Ohio. We get a lot of snow.

      I carry large sheets of sand paper in my car in the winter. They are really handy if I get stuck.

    Just a little tip buy heating oil (it’s only about 60p a ltr 👍)for your heater and add a bit of two stroke oil just so the pump has some lubricant going through it

    That was a wicked adventure, Rich. Loved the castlerigg footage. Ive been looking at the Akasa brave range myself as I cant afford the dji stuff . Looks like I'd be fine with the Brave 8 to be honest. Good on you for helping other motorists. Hopefully will bring a bit of good karma to the camper scene instead of negativity. you are a good man , Rich. 🙏 Brilliant vlog!! much respect- Kenny

    I got trapped in my car trying to get to Broughton Moor forest for the Grizedale stages. I had to be rescued by Coniston mountain rescue and taken to Coniston rally control. I spent the night in the sports hall and social club and had to get a lift to chester on the Sunday morning with another rally marshal. I had to abandon my car for 5 days where I left it. That was the scariest weekend I’ve ever had.

    UK is a bit useless in the snow, Scandinavians, Canadians, and Alpine dwellers would think this is a fuss about nothing. If people fit all weather tyres they won’t look back (they’re not full snow tyres, just all season). Full snow tyres are noisy, not really necessary, but all season will cope with that amount of snow, if in doubt you can also carry chains or Autosocks, but they only need to be added in packed snow, as they mess up if you can see tarmac.

    i think that mercedes van might be going the same way as you. 12:36, 13:15 at top of the hill before you were snowed in, then again at 26:36

  • @marksmith762
    @marksmith762 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I got stuck up there as well on my way to Broughton moor rally stage. Stuck in the car for 8 hours waiting for mountain rescue to come find me. Had to leave my car near Jackson Ground until yesterday, Wednesday. I stayed the night at Coniston Sport and social club sleeping on a duvet cover. Then got a lift back to chester with a fellow rally marshal. That’s been a surreal few days. There are still a lot of cars locked in Grizedale forest until Friday.

    16”? More like 6” for the most part and will drivers quit driving in winter conditions on summer tyres. Plus use snow-chains or snow-socks where needed.
    Some great views of Windermere at Bowmess.

  • @StephenStylesGoesVanCamp
    @StephenStylesGoesVanCamp 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's the drivers that get stuck they slow down mid hill on purpose for some reason so their using grip after that rather than momentum. Most can't even drive in summer 😂
